Cars exist for many purposes.Some are built for work, others for play. On this episode of Roadkill’s Junkyard Gold, Steve Magnante explores a pair of workhorses in the forms of a 1952 Chrysler Crown Imperial limousine and a 1957 Chevy 150 Series handyman’s station wagon. But you know what they say about all work and no play. That’s why Magnante visits a 1965 Chevy Mailbu SS and a 1971 Plymouth Road Runner. With the Chevelle’s four-speed transmission and the Road Runner’s “beep-beep” horn, these cars offered pure, unadulterated fun when they were new. Come explore all of this and more on this episode of Roadkill’s Junkyard Gold!

Day 4 recap. Every project car build has glorious, dramatic days—dropping the engine in place, paint, that sort of thing—but they also have days of small details that are completely void of glamour, but mandatory nonetheless. Most of the day was installing the little stuff under the hood, such as the windshield washer tank, some wiring, etc. The radiator is larger than stock so it took some ingenuity to make it both fit under the hood and clear the Vortech supercharger. The Derale crew also installed the transmission cooler (after making the cooler lines) and air conditioning condenser. Tomorrow is when the real fun starts. On tap for Day 5 is finishing the cooling system, installing the wheels and tires, TMI will be here to install their custom front and rear seats, the Pioneer stereo will go in, and the Dakota Digital dash will be installed. Then it’s fluids and a few last-minute details and it’s start and drive time! #WeekToWicked #Mustang

Day 3 recap. We stayed a little bit later than usual last night here in the Santa Ana shop, making sure all of the Maximum Motorsports suspension was installed and dialed in, then spent the first half of today dressing the Ford Performance Parts X302E 302ci crate engine with its accessories and the Vortech supercharger. With the engine and trans in place, it was time to install the complete Pypes bolt-on exhaust system. Once the exhaust was buttoned up, we set the rear end at right height to measure for the driveshaft length. Check back in tomorrow when we dive inside the car and install the interior, gauges, stereo and more. #WeekToWicked #Mustang

After 18 stops and the crowning of 20 local winners—from Michigan to Mexico—it’s time to decide which custom build will become a Hot Wheels cast car. Outside SEMA 2019 in Las Vegas, the finalists gathered for a show of authenticity, creativity, and garage spirit—a last chance to catch the eye of the judges. Who will be the winner of the 2019 Hot Wheels™ Legends Tour? #HotWheels #HotWheelsLegendsTour
Day 2 recap. This morning was dominated by completing the rear suspension. The torque arm is bolted to the rear end housing at the back and a crossmember welded to the subframe connectors up front. The evening of Day 2 ended when Jason and Christian lifted the stock fuel tank back into place after installing and plumbing the new Aeromotive 340 in-tank pump. When we return tomorrow, it’s time to stab in the Ford Performance Parts engine and Performance Automatic 4R70W transmission, at which point the Mustang will start looking like a complete car again. #WeekToWicked #Mustang
